A great evening with some very clear considerations about economic activity, the role of entrepreneurship and innovation to support complex challenges. Two points of reflection which I have thanks to the great conversations at the table 1 Contradictions between policies and actions are cemented in old habitual patterns of thinking about what success and advancement looks like. With that we are in a spiral 🌀 very difficult to get out of with certain challenges. Structures and culture are reinforcing so what agency and different action will start to move us beyond ? We need to reframe value as a starter. 2. Environmental challenges all need us devot agency and action towards but when it comes to personal adjustments on privilege and our way of living, governing and contributing (tax), how many will make adjustments to support the broader societal impacts? We need to reframe values as a starter. Thanks Learnovate Centre, Trinity College Dublin for the experience.

Ever attended a banquet where the grandeur faded but the stories lingered? Magnificent chandeliers, gourmet meals, and sparkling silverware often paint the first layer of a memorable banquet. However, strip away the opulence, and the essence truly unravels. It's not the lavishness that etches these gatherings in our memories; it's the stories shared between the walls. Imagine a room buzzing not with the clinking of glasses but with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and the warmth of shared experiences. These are the moments that stick, long after the last guest leaves. It's the unexpected connections, the shared vulnerabilities, and the laughter that resonates through time. In a world captivated by materialistic charm, the true magic of banquets unfolds in the human spirit's resilience to find joy, companionship, and understanding in the most ordinary moments. It's a gentle reminder that at the heart of every grand event lies the simple, yet profound power of storytelling. Next time you find yourself amidst the splendour of a banquet, look beyond the surface. Engage, listen, and share. Because the most unforgettable banquets aren't remembered for how they looked, but for how they made us feel.

This is one reason why I LOVE what I do. I remember the first time Joshua and I discussed the amazing concept he'd come up with for his new business venture; a best-in-class eatertainment concept that would expand upon the offerings of current competitors, and raise the bar to new/uncharted standards. It would be a new way to "ke'nekt" people, emphasizing social connectivity as being just as important, if not more so, than the games and activities it featured. This conversation occurred some time in the second half of 2020... just think about how that must have landed with me at the time. It was smart, well thought out, ambitious, and totally believable, but it was also a time of great uncertainty, especially for concepts emphasizing togetherness. But here we are. I'm not at all surprised that Your 3rd Spot™ Social Dining is now a highly-acclaimed and award winning business. There's a whole team of individuals who I know put their blood sweat and tears into this. That said, I'm incredibly excited for Josh and his team for this recognition. I'm also excited for the whole family and team at Selig Enterprises, Inc. for believing in the concept, moving mountains to help make it happen, and for everything they've done to make #TheWorksATL such an incredible place to spend time each and every day. #teamwork #creativity #execution
